Introduction: Acute respiratory infections were identified as a main health problem according to ASIS Lima Sur 2018. Within this group of diseases, pneumonia presents the greatest impact in children under 5 years of age, affecting both health and development of the population. Various studies highlight the lack of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding pneumonia. The objective of the study was to identify the impact of providing community education about “Pneumonia and warning signs'' and “Dietary Hygienic Measures“. The health project was carried out in A.H Pacifico de Villa - Chorrillos between August and November 2020. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive quasi-experimental study was carried out. The logical framework matrix was used. The intervention was to give out educational material based on knowledge and attitudes on the afore mentioned topics. Questionnaires were applied before and after the intervention. The sampling was non-probabilistic by snowball. Results: In the verification survey for the topic of “Pneumonia and Red Flags“, 87.5% of the participants obtained a score greater than or equal to 12; while 100% of the participants had the same result in the survey for “Hygienic-dietetic Recommendations''. Conclusions: The intervention reduced the lack of knowledge and practice of the population about pneumonia and hygienic-dietary recommendations. This highlights the need to provide health education and consider the community as an active agent of their health; as well as the closely work with community health promoters.
